Identity Freezing

For vulnerable adults and young children, they may be susceptible to others using their credit and harming their credit. For foster youth and others, a credit freeze can be a good idea to protect their credit. MCRC worked on this issue in Maryland. Read more about the idea at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website.
